Golden Rough's 2002 Concert History

Unlike many acts, Golden Rough have never had to make a lot of noise, or engage in expensive promotional campaigns to make either the critics or lovers of great pop tunes stand up and take notice. Singer/songwriter David Orwell's ability to capture the essence of either an entire story or one fleeting emotion in a single line of finely observed lyrical narrative is a rare skill in itself, but when accompanied by an ingenious ear for melody and a bittersweet vocal delivery, the result is pop songwriting at its most sublime.
